Bannenberg & Rowell Design Ltd is a direct descendant of Jon Bannenberg Ltd, the convention-breaking studio founded by Dickie Bannenberg’s late father in the early 1960s. B&R’s base is in an industrial building in Fulham, south-west London, which houses the design studio, a full soft furnishings and sampling library and the studio design archives dating back some fifty years : drawing tubes labelled “Shah of Persia” sit alongside those for “Fidel Castro”.
Since 2003, when the company was rebranded as Bannenberg & Rowell, the studio has delivered some forty yacht projects - new builds and refits - as well as a further twenty residential and transport projects. The studio works on both exterior and interior yacht design projects.
B&R work with almost all the leading shipyards in Northern and Southern Europe (including double figure new constructions with Feadship and Heesen respectively) and further afield too.
Dickie Bannenberg and Simon Rowell are frequent speakers at industry seminars and forums and contribute regularly to yachting publications and other media. Both are often judges for industry-led awards and competitions.
For Monaco Yacht Show 2024, Bannenberg & Rowell has created a unique piece for Tai Ping’s booth.
